A new floor marking applicator tool has replaced the labor-intensive, back-breaking methods of the past. We’re about to explain why the Straight Line 1000 Floor Marking Tape Applicator Tool is vital to any company or worker that needs floor markings for their business.
Why Do You Need Floor Tape Applicators?
OSHA implemented floor marking requirements for warehouses and other facilities due to the unlimited potential dangers possible when operating forklifts, warehouse equipment or any hazardous area. OSHA’s goal was a reduction in the number of accidents in the workplace. Your warehouse needs to be compliant with OSHA’s floor markings safety standards and regulations or face violations with steep fines. One of their top regulations is stated as “apply to marking permanent aisles and traffic ways”.
Floor marking tape is safety tape that is used to mark the width of the floor areas and permanent aisles and traffic ways in large warehouses, hospitals, schools and manufacturing facilities. Floor marking tape is also used to block off caution areas.
This helps make the workplace visible to everyone and ensures the company is compliant with OSHA standards.
How Are Floor Marking Applicators Used
Safety tape comes in several colors which can be useful when directing traffic or identifying dangerous areas. Floor markings can also highlight emergency exits and emergency routes to help emergency responders identify potential hazards in the aisle so they can quickly access the things that are needed.
Floor marking shapes can provide instruction; give warning, notify workers that pedestrians are in the area or to guide you on which direction to take.
For decades floor marking tape was made out of vinyl which was quickly torn up by fork lifts and typical wear and tear. Sometimes the floor marking lines were painted which gave it a longer shelf life than vinyl tape, but creating painted straight line markings took two people doing back-breaking tedious work that came with a high price tag.
A better method was needed that reduced labor time and cost and produce a longer lasting floor line. The owners of Precision Floor Marking rose to the occasion with the creation of the Straight Line 1000 Floor Marking Tape Applicator Tool.
